If I missed anything I'll leave it here! Just as a note for Airborne 2 the last platform has boosters underneath, I just didn't show it! I'm being told holding down rocket drift when transferring directions helps keep the drift going!

I’ve done a lot of speed testing in private matches and found that: • Drifting has a far greater impact at low speeds, and low-charge drifts do almost nothing at high speeds. •• For example: A 4-bar drift (counting 1 side only, out of 18 bars) gives 75kph @ 570kph, 36 @ 648, 24 @ 743. • Charging beyond 9 bars is almost never worth it. 9 bars gives 200kph @ 570kph, while a full 18 bars only gives 250kph at 570kph. (the 8th bar is the last short bar, so when it hits the big section and starts making noise you know you’re good) • The green boost pads always give exactly 100kph instantly, regardless of your current speed. Then you get ~1 second of gradual speed increase, same as Turbo & Drifting, totaling ~50 kph. • The Turbo button always gives ~133kph instantly if you’re above 560kph, then the 50kph gradual, and after 1 second you get a 1 second window to hit it again, which always gives you ~138kph regardless of whether you press it .1 or .9 seconds after the option appears. (which makes it beneficial to press it late) • Hitting a wall or other car slows you 20-65kph, depending on how hard you the impact is (grazing it does 20, but a 70 degree slam does 65) • Lava slows you for 1.5 seconds, averaging ~135kph lost.

At 23:03 you can hold the rocket drift button longer than usual when changing direction to keep the drift consistent

Leth will get a lot of practice in these races and learn a lot about the shortcuts imagine if they added power up items

FYI- Holding the drift button lets you keep your drift charge through flying and landing! You can even start drifting with a tap like usual, then press and hold just before you go airborne. Very useful for keeping your charge when you realize you’re about to leave the surface for some reason.

These maps are actually fun to go through and explore. they should add a mode where you can roam in them freely

Glad to see you taking the lead in making more in depth videos about the racing game, watched the whole thing it just flew by. Satisfying commentary. 👏

Wow! I didnt know someone could posess that much knowledge on a game that just came out, you probably spent alot of time to find these shortcuts. You deserve a sub!

A huge thankyou for this video!! I've used alot of these shortcuts especially the ones for pleasant pitstop and tilted turnpike and they've helped me grind through Plat to Diamond and I just got a 2nd place on Olympus so I'm feeling good about climbing to Elite and this video is a huge part so again thank you!

4:30 ok, that was sick! 🤯😃👍🏻

Thanks for the upload, very handy indeed

Thank you for making this video!

These videos are so helpful, thank you!

This is BLOODY FANTASTIC! I will say though, there's at least a little bit of "just do this and this and this" coming down to the end of the video; those simple(ish) things for you are damn brutal for me to even try 😂.

the chain drifting is more consistent if you hold the drift button while transitioning till you are going the other direction

At 7:56 on Dust up 1 there is a turn sign on the inside of the turn that you can squeeze next to. It's difficult but I think it could be faster. You would get less boost though of course. At 14:18 on Puddle Jumper I see a lot of players go only into the second part of the tunnel which makes sense because it's a straighter line, thus faster if you don't need the boost. I think it would be even faster to just dodge onto the bottom of it, eliminating the need to hover and overall needing less vertical movement. At 15:28 on Bone Cavern 2 in the first tunnel I think it's more efficient to use dodges than to hover. The first hazard you can dodge onto the left wall and jump off so that you land right after the hazard without hovering. The later hazards you can dodge onto the ceiling to skip hovering. Overall I think you want to limit hovering as much as possible except when using it with boost. At 18:25 on Windy Way I think the fastest route is to go ontop of the tunnel or on the ceiling and then hover boost over the mountain all the way to the left of the checkpoint. You can probably use a dodge upwards to gain the height because you don't need it for a sharp turn or to get onto an angled surface. At 18:54 on Windy Way again, you missed a hidden turbo pad. It's up on a cliff to the left. You need to boost and hover off the big jump if you want to take it efficiently. The two turbo pads you called bait on the big white curved turn make it easier to reach. Actually helped me win a race once or twice. I haven't played the expert tracks enough yet to have anything to add there. Im plat 2 for reference if anyone is wondering. I didn't know some of the stuff you showed so thank you for taking the time to research the maps. Glad I won't have to learn the expert tracks from scratch!

Great vid can’t wait to see what the future maps and tricks will look like

In puddle jump one after the first checkpoint you can decelerate or drift hard to the left then fly on the rock to reset your jump meter and go on the billboard and skip the whole beginning drift part

this is gonna help me keep trying to find more and more awsome help thx

Great presenting and even greater ideas for shortcuts!

tip for tilted turnpike: on the bits where you have to wall climb, on both of them if you have a boost saved you can skip having to go on the walls and fly through the whole thing, first one you can do pretty consistently but the second one is very hard to do without wall grappling, i think youd have to front flip to get the distance but i suck too much rn lol

Thank you this was very helpful

Some guys and I have figured out almost every optimal route for every map. And that translates perfectly into ranked, as proof that those really are the fastest routes. This game is so much fun to figure out, because in some cases taking the shortcut is actually way slower. I played lots of Rocket League as well as Trackmania, so no wonder i am so addicted, and climbing the top of the Leaderboard. Cool Video to get to know all Tracks, and tricks.

Thank you Leth for these shortcuts it will help me win some games

Thanks Leth! This was great. :D

I do wish that more of the shortcuts gave more of a well shortcut then the regular path because some the highest risk ones dont even feel close to the most rewarding.

Crazy how much you already found in every map not even a month into the release, much love bro

love this vid, good work mate, im now half way on plat 1 lol

Just in Diamond I and tried out Eivera for the first time 💀. I am so glad that you posted this because I would’ve just driven on the road

Wow, the later maps are insane! Just reached diamond 3, so hopefully I can play them soon. Also, I didn't know you could make your turn sharper by using several rocket drifts. That one will *definitely* help me out hahaha

Thanks dude 👍

I've been looking for shortcuts since your last vid and really appreciate this!

@32:25 to keep a boost building while airborne, hold the drift button or simply underthrust down onto the track-momentum and cornering immediately continue.

I watch the video and play at the same time, every race so far is top 3 :D Thank you for the great video :)

20:14 there is even a second boost pad at the building at the right. You can fly over to after the first boost pad. 19:27 at this point you can fly with turbo and use a roll to the left at the end. 28:52 after the boost pads you can fly around the corner. It is possible with turbo or without additional turbo.

More rocket racing content this 🔥

in dust up 1 i love drifting off the first wall then flipping down into another drift into the conner i get a alot of turbo build up from it👀

@lethamyr : very strong abbreviation at 14:17 : fly to the left wall and land on the billboard to recharge your flight. This saves a lot of time! (usable without turbo)

I do have one tip for racers. It is a difficult mechanic and I don't know for sure if it's worth it but, if you are in a tunnel that goes straight and has walls. You can drift on the very corners of where the wall and floor intersects on that rounded out part. Again, it is difficult and I don't know if it's even worth it. You can also do this with tubes.

I don't really plan on playing much of this game (if at all), but it was still enjoyable to watch this video.

I learned a lot from watching this video. Definitely some need little hidden boosts to look for. I just got to the Elite rank yesterday, but the only thing that's been rough is ranking up. I've seen deranks when I was like 1st place or top 4. Idk, probably just a me issue lol but cool video none the less.

Puddle Jumper 1 WR builds drift by drifting around the tubes. Like spiraling inside the tube.

Do boosts stack? Like turbo, pads and drifts?

Hey Leth, when you go airborne while drifting, there is a way to not lose drift. All you have to do is hold in the drift button while airborne and then release it again once you're then straight and back on the ground

This will be helpful with the new speedrun challenge coming out soon

damn thats a banger keep up the work❤

Hey Leth I gotta question. Do the white and orange ripples on the sides of the road slow u down? I feel like I get passed when run over them but idk for sure

Thanks for making content on this game without roasting the crap out of it. Every french RL youtuber has been awful at covering this game

Can't wait for custom map making!

i have a question, if you take 2 booster with all 4 wheel (so 1 booster with front wheel and other with rear wheel) maybe when you are drifting it count like 2 boost?

Amazing video

In bone cavern 2 in the tunnel is it faster to go on the ceiling ?

U can use the boosts on the turns to turn faster in of u hit it mid drift

On Puddle Jumper 2 when flying through the pink pig head, isnt it better drive so you can grab the boost on top of the head?

If I had a dollar for every you said, "OK now THIS map is where it gets interesting/complicated!" 🤣

do u get more percentage on ur rank if u do expert tracks?

btw on puddle jumper 1 you can get on the cliff close to the beginning after that checkpoint

Woah you just gave all the secrets of the game away. I honestly think they should add the classic air roll from sideswipe.

I’ve never been this early to a video before 😂

what is better to use in Reverse Direction Method, default, immediately or never?

Could you do an updated version on this? Mainly for the more difficult advanced/expert tracks?

In dust up by the red dots at the end you can fly near the rocks

the effort put into this video is outstanding well don’t keep up the good work r

at 14:11 right at the beginning of the track you can fly left on to the rock to reset your fly and then fly further and jump on the wall to your left

@35:15 beautiful sideways dodge, but you can immediately do a second one in the opposite direction

I was just sitting and waiting for this video

Thank you

Leth is now teaching people stuff ive already learned (im still learning from leth though) fyi i do know how to chain drift

This game gonna be crazy in few years exactly like Rocket League. Big

For the continuous drift while changing directions, I’ve found it’s easier to hold the drift button while changing directions to keep it in the same drift

In anaconda, after the temple, there is a boost on top of the bridge, no idea why and how to utilize it though

Speedruns are gonna be wild on expert maps

The best maps are the Expert tracks, in my opinion, it forces people to drive well rather then just go fast then proceed to spin out others.

36:53 yo leth, it’s nothing too important but there is another set of boosters on the rock connected to that sign at that last turn in airborne 2 (you would need a wider approach to be able to land it but it’s somewhat worth it)

I've heard most people say you should avoid being in the air as much as possible, and often use turbo power to get down from the air quicker. In your video (which is excellent by the way, thanks a tonne) you frequently fly just to cut off bits off small bits of a corner, meaning you loose the boost from a drift, and lose speed because you're in the air. I'm wondering if you think the same about those small corner cuts now? I do get that flying to get a booster for example makes sense, I'm meaning cutting the inside of a long corner off the edge of the track - that seems like it would be worse?

44:45 some booost pads are baits as said earlier but some are tight corner extra hazard compensations. No use in my books but if that helps to anyone be my guest

How do you not lose control when you do the little mint drifts?

I just got my Jackie skin today very happy!

42:42 ik u love this cut leth but im curious if a big drift on the outer tube on the inside line would be better

5:45 I clipped into here once when i was boosting, caused me to get 5th, which I might've been able to get 2nd if it didn't happen

At 6:58 go over that so you can just cut the turn and go right to the tunnel by flying over the rocks?

19:47 in this map i prefer go over the trees, fly near the edge and go to the right side, is good if you have boost and use to retur on the road.

In windy way theirs a green boost pad at the end of the race on the left side before you finish a lap that you can hit it

I can get the side to side rocket drift consistant im not sure what im doing differenting but i start a rocket drift let go of the drift button and press it again instantly while turning the opposite way.

can you do a controller settings video for Rocket Racing ? I know they are different to rocket league, Id like to see how you set yours up.

I had a shot every time Leth said "Turbo," and now I'm dead. GGs LEth

39:40 the panel above the hazards is to telegraph mechanics to casual players who may not have thought to jump over obstacles yet. As you can just pick any map when racing against friends. Testers were staying on the ground weaving through the balls on the rest of the track, lol.

You can keep your drift boost in air as long as you don't straighten out. Pretty big for a lot of tracks.

W video tysm

How do u get into rocket racing single player on xbox

Is there something that indicates you drafting with someone or not?

9:24 you drift over those 3 boost pads, you end up close to 1000, then you turbo and drift over the boost pads again, its a very fast part

How do you do private races? I need this

Keep up the good work

Sidewinder has a hilarious under track shortcut glitch

The piggy at 43:37 that he goes through has 2 inline boosters on top. Through some testing it seems you have to go out of the 3rd pipe and onto the 4th on the outside to get it. I cant get it smoothly enough to use it in a race, but i see it being possible to get both of these then the one on the floor

33:00 I got Monaco feels.

Bro is too good for the game's programming to handle.. Developers be pissin their pants😆

Thank you Leth! Thank you for bringing some positivity to the game. This will be fun to practice. These devs worked hard and should feel proud for their work.

24:35 It is not a bait... use the super boost and get there quickly while you are charging ur 2nd speed up from your super boost to get the most speed. It is my fav map and this straight always lets me go first place , and win the race easy (i dont lose the map)
